Readme
A readme template repository


Yeah, this is what you just read: "a readme-template repository". In this, i'll keep a padronization of all my project's readmes.

Feel free to copy them and modify for your own purposes


Here you will find the following templates:

  • In construction - For those repos that doesn't have notthing yet

  • All-in-one - The readme for monorepos

  • Mobile - A template for mobile apps

  • Server - For APIs and stuff

  • Web - To be used in frontend aplicattions


Okay.. But "why a multi-languaged readme"?, you may ask.

Well.. if you're still here, let me tell ya a story:


🤔 Should I make my READMEs in Portuguese or English?


Even in the beggining of my journey doing READMEs, I was uncomfortable with this question. Well.. I live in Brazil and, even though some of us can comunicate in English very easilly, there is a huge percentage of us that can't.

Still, when making this question above, i've always got the same answer, almost instantly:

"YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WRITE READMEs IN ENGLISH, SO EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND".

-- Comunity

As you can see, I wasn't convinced.

So, the only way was to do.. both.


✌️ My answer is: Do both


Considering github does not have any functionallity known by me (until this moment) as a "multi language support" or anything like that, I decided to use in this repo a known workaround that links another README file with the desired language.

If you notice, there is a "button" on the left-top of this file, like this:

en-badge

# you can do that this way:

[![en-badge](./.github/lg-button-pt.png)](./README.pt.md)

# or using an img tag in HTML

<a href="./README.pt.md">
  <img src="./.github/lg-button-pt.png" alt="pt-br" width="180px" ></img>
</a>

I've put this on every README file, which leads you to a "README.< abreviation-of-choosen-language >.md" (in this case, brasilian portuguese)

Simple as that.
